Pat is a she and she's GTG. I got a Sako M39 from her a few months ago and that's the best place to find a good selection of M39s. The site updates frequently, so if you don't see something you like, check back daily and it'll show up sooner or later.

Some of my best rifles came from her. You won't be disappointed.

Wow I never even knew that site existed. Good stuff there

I noticed the slings listed on there too. Not to derail this thread, but I wonder - would those be appropriate on Finn M91's? I have 5 of em and not one sling amongst em.

The Finn's weren't picky about slings, pretty much any Finn sling is correct for any Finn Mosin. FYI, if your M91's have sling hangers than a standard Mosin sling with dog collars will not fit as the hanger is to narrow but the green M39 slings Pat sells fit just fine.

The sling Pat sent me was crap. I had to end up getting one from Liberty Tree. They have the green M39 slings as well as Finnish marked 91/30 slings.

I bought a nice M39 from Pat last year. Great to deal with. Damn nice rifle.

A seller on eBay named "Suzy's Surplus" sells some decent M39 slings as well.

No problems when I ordered an M39. Did NOT know Pat was a she, either.

Should be known that about 1/4 (20k of 100k) of all m39s ever produced was purchased by PAT when they first were imported.

Pat is good to go.

Bought three antique receivered M39s from her and all were as described

Good to know. I thought it seemed odd how she had a seemingly endless supply of them, for how fast she was adding more to the list each day. lol
Now I will be patient and wait for just the right one.

Pat has nice stuff, I did not know Pat was a she either . Never really gave it much thought

Pat is GTG. I just ordered one on Sunday, order processed and shipped on Monday and it showed up Wednesday.

It has that awesome musty surplus rifle smell.

depends on stock.. it gets low she posts them back up.

I finally cleaned up my m39 I just got from Pat. I think she understates how nice they really are.

I took it apart to clean off all the crud, wiped down the stock and here she is in all her glory.

1900 Tula receiver.

Well worn, bolt is as smooth as butter.

Finns are masters with fitting the stocks. Only touches in a few strategic places.

Shimmed.

A few of my Finns are stamped with numbers here.

Notches cut into stock.

Trying to get some bohica with my camera.

Too many pics?

never to many!

That girl has the looks !

[#25]

That's how I like them, all their well earned battle scars intact.

PB just added a big lot of rifles including another correct straight stock.

Mines was from Pat but many moons ago.

Love it and it is one of my most accurate Mosins.
